    I went to do a disc clean up and I noticed that it already had 4.9 GB used up to be removed, can I eliminate it, Hibernation files etc, that is alot of storage space I could gain, and why is that even in there.

    Hibernation is stupid to get back. Once you use clean up, it gets disabled. So don't 'clean up' hibernation file, unless you think you're not going to use it.

    How or where can I save it to so that I can do future clean ups.

    Just uncheck the box for 'Hibernation File Cleaner' in the list of things that you want to cleanup.

    Just my 2 cents.. Hibernation has been known to cause issues with the 7811FX, as well as most other OEM laptops. Unless you intend to use it, clean it. Once cleaned, it will be one less issue down the road. And, it will give you a good bit of HDD space back. :) Just my opinion..take it for what you like.

    Yeah, hibernation sucks. Its not like it takes 5 minutes to boot the computer. My 6860 boots in about 48 seconds to full usability, so i'm pretty sure a stock 7811 should be able to come close to that. Hibernation saves what 15 seconds :rolleyes:

    Get your space back and enjoy the storage, just power down the machine if your going to leave it a long period of time
